In its third major overhaul, the storied Traildonkey returns. Originally launched in 2014, Rodeo Labs developed the carbon adventure bike as a do-it-all adventure machine, capable of everything including bikepacking, gravel racing and road group rides. For the TD3, Rodeo is highlighting its improved tire clearance, refined frame design and loads of mounting points.

We recently caught up with the crew from Rodeo Adventure Labs, who were visiting us from Denver for a gravel event. It turns out that they were not only here for the race, but to connect with a few local "Rodeoers" who had purchased their bikes in the past, and part of the small but growing Rodeo family.
